It's absolutely ridiculous how I still remember playing CS in high school and now my kids are playing it.
I remember CS 1.2... It's so crazy.
I started with CS 1.5/1.6, time flies !
the maps.. and the mods. oh, those glorious mods. we ran a vanilla server with extra maps, but the wc3ft mod with ut audio was far more popular.. and had servers running tfc, paintball, natural selection, wanted, and the ship.
I find it interesting how they just kept to original gameplay, in a "let's not break what's working" way. Thats a design decision you don't see that often.
That's going to be the case for all Valve games at this point. When Left 4 Dead 2 released back in 2009 I was 18 years old. The 2027 graduating class was born between 2008-2009. So hypothetically, anyone who had a kid in my class right after my graduation would have grown up playing Left 4 Dead and now their kids would be playing it.
Aside from Alyx, I highly doubt we will ever see any new major titles with the their older games at this point.
My kids are 5 & 8, can't wait for it to happen! 🤣 We are playing Lego Worlds, Minecraft, Palworld and the like. I'm thirsting for CS with my boys! Chances are they'll lay waste on me but who cares, I've always sucked anyways hahaha.
